OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2The OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 is a mobile suit that appears in the manga New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-Unit. It is piloted by MO-V's Odin Bernett.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The two Geminass units were the first of Dr. Berg's experimental G-UNIT mobile suits, based loosely on the original OZ-00MS Tallgeese. The Geminass is a general purpose MS intended to show off the basic traits of the G-UNIT series. Geminass 01 can be differentiated from its twin, the Geminass 02, through their different color schemes, with the former being painted in white and blue with red details. Its pilot, Odin Bernett, declared the mobile suit a Gundam after hearing that the five rebels on Earth were using Gundams to fight for the sake of their home colonies.

Unlike other mobile suits of the time, the Geminass has a unique modular structure, allowing it to change its parts to adapt to various combat situations and environment. An example is the space-use B-UNIT, which consisted of additional thrusters mounted on the Geminass' shoulders, legs, and backpack, greatly improving the suit's mobility in space. Another innovative feature is the PX System, which takes advantage of the increased adrenaline a pilot feels during combat and also increases the suit's performance. However, the system has a time limit which if passed has serious consequences for both the pilot and the suit.

Armaments

• Beam Sword

The Gundam Geminass 01 is equipped with two beam swords stored in its backpack. The principle of these close combat weapons is energy being focused into a beam with a sword shape and used to melt and cut through even the toughest armor.

• G-UNIT Shield

A basic arm-mounted defense armament for many mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishments that would normally destroy a mobile suit.

• Accelerate Rifle

A prototype handheld weapon that can fire beams thanks to an internal particle accelerator. It is also fitted with an electromagnetic condenser that allows it to fire a charged "Hyper Shot".

History

In AC 195, five teenaged boys use Gundam mobile suits to wage a guerrilla war against OZ and their oppression of the space colonies. Far removed from this conflict, new Gundam type mobile suits are being secretly constructed at the mobile suit factory asteroid MO-V. Developed by Dr. Berg, the OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 and OZX-GU02A Gundam Geminass 02 represents a change in mobile design philosophy. The Geminass 01 is assigned to rookie pilot Odin Bernett, who is at first unable to use the PX system but gains mastery of it over time. Later, the Geminass 01 is upgraded to the more powerful OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster and eventually passed over to former OZ Prize pilot Roche Nattono.

In Gundam EX A, Leos Alloy uses Gundam Geminass equipped with High Mobility Unit and engage in battle against Heero Yuy's XXXG-01W Wing Gundam to collect his combat data. However, Leos end up using the Geminass to shield the Wing Gundam from Extreme Gundam Carnage Phase's attack and has to dive out from the world of After Colony.

Notes & Trivia

• Following OZ's naming tradition, the Geminass units were named after the third Zodiac sign, "Gemini". The sign represents a pair of twins, which in turn represents the two identical mobile suits.
• The two Geminass units and their color schemes are possibly an homage to the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, with unit 01 representing the AEUG version.
